MOMENTS

WE BELIEVE YOU DESERVE HANDCRAFTED PHOTOS & ALBUMS YOU CAN PASS DOWN FOR GENERATIONS.

LEICA CAMERA PURISTS

We use the best cameras in the world to capture your images. Why? Because a lot of “fancy” cameras these days are actually no clearer than a smartphone camera. And you should be able to tell your wedding photos apart from all the others on your camera roll.

NATURAL CONNECTORS

At our core, we’re people who love life. And that means we study people, we practice extraversion, and we connect deeply. We’re bilingual and locally connected, which helps us navigate your event with ease—both with and for you. You and your guests get more than photographers—you get friends who can act as social catalysts.

CONFIDENCE BUILDERS

Our couples run the gamut—some love the spotlight, while many would be happy never posing for a single photo. Either way, we help you feel confident with us behind the lens—knowing we’re photographing the best parts of who you are, not just your best angles.

I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart,the album arrived, and when I tell you I’m in love with it, I truly mean it. It beautifully captures how the wedding day unfolded. The quality is incredible , it looks and feels amazing!

I always trusted that you would choose the best moments, and you absolutely did not disappoint.

Last month, I had my first surgery and I’m now cancer-free , praise God. Receiving this album in the mail this week felt like the perfect celebration on top of everything. Thank you so much. I made no mistake choosing you. You were the perfect photographer for one of the most important days of my life.

Forever grateful,

The Michaels
